Millions Learning has developed these practical planning resources, diagnostic tools, and guides to support scaling impact in education.
Scaling strategy worksheet: Planning for scale
This guidance document (see related commentary) helps organizations plan for scaling an education innovation, defining what success looks like and how to get there. It outlines how to set a clear, measurable, timebound scaling goal alongside a high-level strategy. The result serves as a living document to revisit and refine as new insights, data, and a changing environment come into play.

Guiding questions for adapting and refining a scaling strategy
This resource offers a set of guiding questions (see related commentary) to support the ongoing adaptation of a scaling strategy. It encourages individuals and institutions to regularly reflect on emerging issues and opportunities, test adaptations, and refine their approach based on new data and a changing environment.
Download the guiding questions in English, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, or Swahili.
Institutionalization tracker: Assessing the integration of an education initiative into a system
This tool (see related commentary) measures progress toward institutionalizing an initiative within a formal education system. It’s designed as a dynamic planning resource for implementers, policymakers, and funders to identify and address areas needing further attention as integration unfolds.

A visual guide to selecting and adapting scaling pathways in education
This two-part animated video series (see related commentary) shares key information about how to identify and adapt scaling pathways, using a hypothetical example to ground these pathways in specifics. These short videos can assist scaling teams to better understand the concept of scaling pathways in education and how pathways are distinct from, but closely linked to, scaling goals.
Education scalability checklist
This checklist (see related commentary) is a dynamic diagnostic tool to help assess the ease of scaling an innovation in a particular context and moment and to identify areas where adaptations might be needed in order to increase the likelihood of scaling. Developed by VVOB in collaboration with Brookings, Educate!, MSI, Pratham, and STiR Education and accompanied by a user guide, the tool is designed for practitioners, governments, and funders who are interested in supporting efforts to move a particular education initiative to larger scale.
